Her spokesperson, Cindi Berger, said Chelsea suffers from mental illness and had not been taking her medication.
James Coyle, a South Nyack Police Department detective, told The Washington Post that luckily, Chelsea was found safe and sound in New Jersey. In the interim, Chelsea made contact with third parties, so police “didn’t believe that there was any immediate danger”, Wilson said.
She added, “She’s still a child, and she’s on her way from the police headquarters”.
Chelsea, who contacted friends to tell them that she was in good condition, didn’t disclose her whereabouts to anyone until Tuesday, Wilson said.
